ICE is a chemotherapy regimen used as salvage therapy for relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma. Its name is an acronym for its three component drugs: ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide. Patients typically receive two to four cycles about three weeks apart, often as a bridge to an autologous stem cell transplant. When combined with the monoclonal antibody rituximab for CD20 positive B cell lymphomas, the same combination is called R-ICE.
